A device for the manufacture of a hose package formed by folding of a hose of flexible material, where the hose package consists of folds adjoining one another and consisting of wall elements formed on folding and connected to one another. The elements are situated outside one another in relation to a central axis of the hose package. The device includes fixing means (10a), lower folding means (11) and upper folding means (12) said folding means (11,12) having the shape of polygons. Through a controlled sequence of movements the means just mentioned form the folds situated outside one another, and thereby the hose package. The folding means are composed of plates (13,14; 15,16) which are placed adjoining one another, the plates in end regions (130,140; 150,160) adjoining one another forming corners (17,18) in a polygon presented by the respective folding means. In the respective corner region the plates are arranged at a distance from one another so as to form an opening (45) or a gap (46) respectively between themselves.
